"The Bianc is manageable, approx. 14 tables cozy and single set with view towards kitchen. Opticly everything was like a small art show, very exciting. The service was really very attentive and the wine accompaniment was class(roll weine), despite the many courses only something for drink-resistant. Tastefully and for eating, it was chosen for my partner and me too much different flavors and the courses too wild. We like to eat and cook ourselves lovingly and with heart. This place is simply chosen to be confused for the stomach, so our stomachs had complaints after eating... Negative is that, the Gänge menu lasted hours and our sitting meat has been curly for a long time (4-5hd), despite hint, the menu is not served faster. In addition, cooking is often freshly cooked, and not precooked for hours and days and kept warm until served. The kitchen itself acts very sterile and not lovingly more practical and visually corresponding to its dishes (Chemielabor like). Tastefully there was some tasty but not everything naturally does not meet every taste this menu would be more affordable and less courses would definitely be worth a further visit accordingly it remains with a one-time visit and only a one-time recommendation. Over 600€ plus tip for 2 people is a proud price."

"That eating was terrific and the services were super friendly. I had rarely experienced such a service. It was super family and a warm atmosphere. The cook has personally presented itself to everyone and asks if everything fits. He was also very open for a conversation and gave us insider tips for Hamburg. The restaurant is an absolute secret tip and always worth a visit. We will always like to come there."

"Im August war ich in der Foccaceria Apulia, wo ich schon länger hin wollte. Und es war wirklich ein Glücksgriff!! Die Foccacia Klasse mit einer lievito Madre gebacken, heißt mit einem italienischen Sauerteigansatz, kross und innen luftig leicht. Der Belag echt italienisch, saftig, und geschmacklich sehr gut gewürzt! Der Service und der Chef waren aufmerksam und sehr freundlich. Und: es gab eine ganze Seite Alkoholfreie Cocktails. Phantasievolle Saftmischungen, die die Hamburger Wüste, was alkoholfreies angeht, sehr bereichert! Und das alles zu absolut guten Preisen! Hier gehe ich öfters hin!!"

"There's always a question (in my mind, anyway) as to Michelin's accuracy/usefulness outside of France. In the US, it's not very helpful at all and in Europe ex-France, I've found it hit and miss. Haerlin represented only my second stab at a two-star in Germany and the first meal (Heinz Winkler), while a thoroughly wonderful overall experience, felt like the second star might have been a stretch. Not so at Haerlin, this was a two-star meal that stands fork-to-fork with any I can remember.The food is stylized to within an inch of its life, but close to flawless in both conception and execution. Outside of a large selection of generally unremarkable breads and a luke-warm roasted onion broth added to an amuse at table side that probably should have been hotter, the meal was simply one perfect dish after another. Maybe the sorbet intermezzo was a little old school in such a fashion forward meal, but - hey - it was delicious! Keep it.The room is suitably formal, luxurious in a traditional style, and quite comfortable. The pace of service might be a little leisurely for some (I ate alone and the four-course menu (seven + courses, including amuses, etc) pushed it a bit, stretching just over three hours. However, the friendly and attentive staff kept an eye out the entire time and stopped by if the time between courses presented the opportunity.The somm, in particular, was a great diversion, visiting from time to time to discuss the varied and interesting wines on offer. He provided useful insight into the outstanding selection of trocken Rieslings on the list. He guided me to a 2001 Burklin-Wolf GG that, at Eu 150, was both a great bottle of mature white and a tremendous value for a wine of this quality in this type of restaurant. (Good luck finding a white burgundy of this quality at this price at any multi-star restaurant - or at retail, for that matter.) He also suggested a wonderful German Pinot Noir by the glass that worked perfectly with the meat course and wasn't terribly expensive. The list is extensive, but not the tome you see at some restaurants, but don't be fooled - wine service at Haerlin is both a major plus and represents notable value in the context of multi-star restaurants.I'm not going to argue two-star vs three-star because that distinction often seems to be kind of mysterious (and tangentially related to the food), but I will say that this place certainly deserves two stars. I had just a flat-out great meal. If you can work in a visit, Haerlin should be high on your list."
